Re: [VOTE] Suspending Projects -- XAP

2009-02-18 Thread Bob Buffone
Hello PMC,

As a committer on the XAP Project, I would also vote +1 (non binding of
course) for moving the project from incubation to the attic. We have seen
little community develop around the project and have been making little/no
progress on the code lately.

Thanks for everyones help throughout the process,
Bob (Buffone)

the word is a just a symptom

if you had asked for a vote on the measures themselves, i would have
been +1 but i don't believe that creating policy on the fly is a good
idea. there is no reason to rush so IMO it should  have been used as a
use case for developing and documenting policy.

disciplinary process is important. something as simple as a choice of
phrase can change the way a particular set of actions is perceived by
the outside world. if writing policy, a reasonable description of the
proposed act would have been 'Suspending Operations' as part of - if
we had some documentation describing and policy controlling - a move
to archive status.

An issue related to XAP was raised last September and the PPMC was asked to
address it. AFAIK, the PPMC has done nothing at all since then to address
that particular issue.

Huh?  So when I suspend my laptop, it did something wrong and needs to be
disciplined?  That hasn't been true since I stopped running MS-Windows
Vista!

The project is dormant, sleeping, idle, hibernating, and can be mothballed,
put away in the attic, put on ice.  If and when there is further community
interest, it can be woken, thawed, taken out of the attic, recommissioned,
reactivated, unboxed.

Is your -1 really solely on the word?

Suspension implies wrongdoing and fault, and that this disciplinary
process is temporary

IMO XAP should be archived into an Attic

Oversight on inactive projects does not worry me. The lack of activity
makes this a very easy task.

Oversight problems in the incubator are more likely to occur when a
project is too active for energy available from the mentors.
